“…[15] In this sense, it is understood that the elderly of this study need care, so that can prevent against future dementia. Similar results were highlighted by Araújo [16] in their study that aimed to investigate the cognitive aspects and the level of physical activity of the elderly, where it found that more than half of the participants had some impairment of mental state (53.6%).…”

“…The level of physical activity of the elderly is associated with cognitive aspects as physical activity is a protective factor, that is, it enhances in cognitive improvement and also the mental health of the elderly population (de Araujo et al, 2015). Likewise, in the present study, the level of physical activity was compared between the clinical and control groups.…”

Introduction. Health problems in elderly individuals are diverse. The use of cigarettes, a potentially addictive substance, has been increasing in the elderly population age group, affecting the cognitive and elderly domains, and becoming an important global public health problem. Objective. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between tobacco consumption by the elderly, as well as different levels of nicotine dependence and cognitive domains of executive functions. Method. It is a case-control study composed by 58 individuals aged ≥ 60 years, with 29 participants in the clinical group and 29 in the control group. The case-control sample was paired in subgroups by sex, socioeconomic status, schooling, and sample isonomy with the clinical group. We used the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the Mann-Whitney test, the student T-test, and the Cohen d-estimator. Results. The control group performed better compared to the clinical group with the median grade in the inhibitory control of the executive domain with Cohen’s d 1.00 in the five-digit test and Cohen’s 1.5 in the Stroop test. The control group compared with the high-grade clinical group presented better performance with Cohen’s working memory of 1.56 d, Cohen’s inhibition of 1.06 d in the five-digit test, and Cohen’s of 1.17 d in the Stroop test. Discussion and conclusion. The detection of the level of nicotine dependence is associated with the degree of cognitive impairment in the specific executive domain, which provides a possibility of differential diagnosis, both in the clinical and population contexts, directed at the rehabilitation of executive domains most affected by smoking in the elderly.

“…O nível socioeconômico e baixa renda favorecem o desestímulo à prática de atividade física e cognitiva, podendo representar um dado prejudicial ao déficit de funcionamento cognitivo no processo de envelhecimento. 28 Houve ganho em todos os componentes da aptidão física (Tabela 3): potência aeróbica com aumento significativo na média do número de repetições em passos, realizados no "Teste de marcha estacionária de dois minutos": antes foi de 66,1, indo para 80,8 após o teste, o valor de referência da média para idosos 21,22 é de 92,12. Observa-se que a melhora apresentada na amostra estudada foi significativa, porém não suficiente para alcançar a média dos padrões de referência da capacidade aeróbica nesse teste.…”
